Story Sacks

Story Sacks

July 6, 2016 @ 9:15 am - 11:45 am

A course which supports parents to read with their children and find out about the Hillcrest reading scheme. Props and games are used to bring stories to life, encourage interactive learning and help foster a love of reading. Story Sacks will help parents extend their own skills, make a story sack to take home, develop confidence and support children to develop language and numeracy.

This is an informal, practical and friendly class for those who can speak and understand English and who can read and write a little. Children join their parents for part of the programme so the skills taught can be put into practice.

Venue

We are a partner of GORSE SCITT (formerly Leeds Teaching School Alliance) which offers a dynamic route into teaching, providing high quality Initial Teacher Training around Leeds. New entrants to the teaching profession are able to train directly with the SCITT in schools within The GORSE Academies Trust and also in partner schools in the local area.

The trust has an outstanding record of recruiting trainees from its programme to newly qualified teaching positions within its schools and graduates from the SCITT are in high demand in schools outside of the Alliance.
